Message-ID: <3466@ria.ccs.uwo.ca> Date: 25 Jun 91 00:31:12 GMT Sender: news@ria.ccs.uwo.ca Organization: The John P. Robarts Research Institute, London, Ontario Lines: 21 Originator: wlsmith@valve.heart.rri.uwo.ca I know that a 10 Mhz PC is not the preferred hardware for windows, And this question has probably been asked before, but I just want a few answers (please :) The hardware is some clone 10 Mhz PC with 640K 85 Meg hard-drive Oak 256K VGA board (800x600x16, 640x480x256) GoldStar 1405w B/W VGA monitor (800x600, 640x480, etc) 1.2 Mb floppy (logitech clone mouse, not hooked up at time of windows installation) Shortly after Windows asks for disk 2 (during installation), the computer hangs. Upon rebooting and typing win, I get the familiar windows intro screen, which goes away, and I get a single line of junk text at the top of the screen, and the computer hangs. I select a PC/MS DOS type of computer, VGA graphics, etc. Is there anything really wrong here?
